Who are the Bandidos?


Law-abiding weekend warriors with fast bikes?
Or
Violent, meth-fueled outlaws with a thirst for drugs, guns and violence?

I suppose it's who you ask. The law enforcement of Waco, Texas would probably say the latter. Ask Edward Winterhalder, a former Bandidos and you'll get a different version. "There's no reason for anyone to be in fear of them at all. It was always about having a good time."

James Quinn, a Universtiy of North Texas professor, says this, "I wouldn't classify them as Boy Scouts. But, generally, the public doesn't have much reason to fear them."

Members are a mix of Anglo and Hispanic.
